Kilkenny roofer awaits sentencing for transporting cocaine
A Kilkenny roofer who transported cocaine valued over €200,000 because of his so-called "drugs debt" to criminals will be sentenced later by Judge Rory MacCabe.
Kieran Hickey (aged 24) was observed by a garda surveillance team as he interacted with a taxi they had been monitoring in Dublin city centre on suspicion that it was involved in a drugs operation.
